With one foot
rooted deeply in the past and the other stepping into the future,
Judy Lubin is both a keeper of the old stories and a social innovator.
The folktales contain our collective wisdom on what it means to
be human. Judy tells these stories for the express purpose of helping
listeners to understand their own humanity and to develop a strong
inner life that will lead them to an autonomous and emotionally
mature adult life.

While her
stories will certainly entertain, Judy does not tell them for entertainment.
Rather, she tells stories as apothecary - both preventative and
healing tonics - for the inner life. Yet, the children sit mesmerized,
hanging on every word. At the end of each story, they beg for more.
And all the while, they are "taking their medicine" and
learning to become inwardly strong and resilient.

Judy believes
that a child who knows herself on the inside becomes an adult who
changes the world on the outside. Her hope is that today’s
children will grow strong enough to create for themselves a world
worthy of our greatest dreams and ideals.

Because she
tells such nourishing stories, Judy’s primary focus is on
storytelling in schools. Among other engagements, she has had a
long running adjunct storyteller position at a Waldorf school, whose
curriculum is known for its emphasis on storytelling.

"Storyteller
Judy Lubin brings warmth and reverence of the spoken word to her
